Here’s a Seiko 7T32 chronograph that I saw recently. The owner claimed that this watch was one of the first few models that came with full lumibrite dial.
Back home, I took out my old Seiko catalogs and started looking for the watch. Guess what, this watch was actually a featured watch in the Lumibrite series in a catalog from the 90’s. The owner knows his sh….stuff.
Here’s the page featuring the watch taken from the catalog.
Here’s a closer look at the watch on the catalog. It is exactly the same as watch I saw.
And here’s the actual stock picture from the catalog.
According to the caseback, the watch was produced in August 1994.
I’m wearing mine right now, i do got the original looking green gator strap.
I won mine as best player award on the 1995 IIHF World Championship icehockey in Slovenia.
It’s a very nice watch.
Still love it after all those years.
Thanks for sharing, roelofs.
In 1994 I bought this watch in Singapore. While flying I saw the same advertisement and although I’m a girl I wanted to have it.
With a brake of 10 years I wearing it right now. I believe I bougt it in march of that year. The number on the back is: 3 N3861.
Maybe it’s really one of the first one.
Very nice and good photographed site you have…keep going your interesting work.
Thanks for sharing your story. Your watch is almost 20 years old.
